Shore-Based Power Supply (SBPS)

Basis of adaptation measure: Energy production

and use are the biggest contributors to

greenhouse gas emissions World Bank

Establishment spearheadedby Port of Cagayan de Oro

Hydroelectric power provided to vessels at berth

Emissions of CO and other obnoxious gasesare prevented


PPA Port Greening Projects


15/27

Shore-Based Power Supply

at Port of Cagayan de Oro

Cleaner alternative power supply,i.e., from BFO to electricity

To be replicated at major Gateway Ports
